8 stimulate technological innovation increase private sector commercialization of federal R&D increase small business participation in federally funded R&D foster participation by minority and disadvantaged firms in technological innovation
9 2.5% 0.3% SBIR(Small Business Innovation Research): set-aside program for small businesses to participate in federal research and development with potential for commercialization STTR(Small Business Technology Transfer): set-aside program to facilitate cooperative research and development between small businesses and non-profit research institutions with potential for commercialization
10 Federal agencies expending >$100M in extramural R&D must set aside 2.5% for SBIR Agency Grants Contracts Agriculture Education x x HSS x x NSF Commerce Energy Homeland Security Transportation Defense EPA NASA x x x x x x x x x
11 Agency SBIR STTR DoD $1.23B $141M HHS (NIH/CDC/FDA) $600M $72M Energy $138M $17M NASA $113.4M $13.6M NSF $97M $13M Homeland Security $20.5M Agriculture $18.3M Education $9.9M Transportation $8M Commerce (NOAA/NIST) $8M EPA $5M
12 Contracting Agencies Agency establishes plans, protocols, and requirements Highly focused topics Procurement mechanism for DoD and NASA More fiscal requirements DoD, NASA, EPA, DOC, HHS/NIH, DOT, ED, DHS Granting Agencies Investigator initiates approach Less-specified topics Assistance mechanism More Flexibility HHS/NIH, ED, NSF, USDA, DOE
13 Many differences among agencies with regard to: Funding levels Topic areas Number and timing of solicitations Proposal preparation instructions Submission process Type of award Review process Odds of receiving funding
14 Federal agencies expending >$1B in extramural R&D must set aside 0.3% for STTR 5 participating agencies: Defence Energy HHS NASA NSF
15 Odds of receiving funding Phase I: ~1/5 ~1/12 for SBIR; average across agencies is ~1/8. you may be invited to apply for Phase II for some agencies Phase II: ~1/3 ~1/2 Depends on budget, number of proposals submitted, target number of Phase I vs. Phase II You must receive a Phase I award before applying for Phase II
16 Firm eligibility Collaboration with research institution Principal Investigator Work breakdown SBIR STTR US, for-profit, and fewer than 500 employees May subcontract Must spend more than ½ time employed by firm 1/3 of Phase 1 and ½ of Phase II Must have formal collaboration agreement with university, FFRDC or other non-profit research institution Not specified Firm must perform a min. of 40% of work and the research institution a min. of 30% of work for both phases
17 Research Partner SBIR: Permits research institution partners (Outsource ~ 33% Phase I and 50% Phase II R&D) STTR: Requires research institution partners (e.g., universities) [40% small business concern (for-profit) and 30% U.S. research institution (non-profit)] Funding is always awarded to the small business
18 >1/3 respondents to NRC study reported involvement with university in their SBIR project amount those: > 2/3 of companies reported at least one founder was former academic ~ 1/3 of founders were most recently employed as academic before founding company ~ 27% of projects used university faculty as contractors, 17% used universities themselves as subcontractors, and 15% employed graduate students Charles W. Wessner, Editor, Committee on Capitalizing on Science, Technology, and Innovation: An Assessment of the Small Business Innovation Research Program, National Research Council, An Assessment of the SBIR Program, National Academies Press, 2008
19 Small business must have fewer than 500 employees, including affiliates Must be organized for profit Must be >51% US-owned by individuals and individually operated OR at least 51% owned and controlled by another for-profit business concern that is at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more individuals All work must be performed in the US
20 Principal Investigator must be primarily employed (>50%) by the small business for SBIR; for STTR DoD, NIH, and NASA permit PI to be primarily employed by the non-profit partner SBIR company must perform at least 2/3 of effort for Phase I projects and at least 1/2 of Phase II Small business must perform at least 40% of the effort for an STTR project Requirements apply at the time of award and for the duration of the project
21 Phase I Proof-of-concept/feasibility study Up to $150,000 for 6 month project (SBIR) or $100,000 for 12 month project (STTR) Ranges from $80k to $150k Phase II Full Research/R&D effort Up to $1,000,000 for 2 year project ($750,000 for STTR) Phase III Commercialization phase Requires the use of non-sbir/sttr funds Can lead to a DOD contract
22 Solicitation Topics Proposal Submission Evaluation Phase I Award ~6-9 months Agencies describe R&D topics in solicitations. Small Business Concerns prepare proposals. Unsolicited proposals are not accepted. Agencies evaluate proposals based on technical merit, firm s qualifications, and commercial potential/societal impact. Agencies make Phase I awards.
23 Need an innovative idea Need credibility as a researcher and a company Understand the agency s mission and needsexample EPA s White Paper. Respond to the appropriate solicitation or topic (unsolicited proposals are not accepted) Follow the rules Call the program manger prior to the date and discuss your idea.
24 E.O Encouraging Innovation in Manufacturing SBIR/STTR program managers are instructed to give priority to manufacturing-related R&D Priority for all agencies Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (P.L ) Directs SBIR Programs to give high priority to small business concerns that participate in or conduct energy efficiency or renewable energy system R&D projects.
25 Phase I SBIR (up to 6 months duration) $75,000: ED (grants) $80,000: EPA $90,000: USDA, NIST, $95,000: NOAA Up to $100,000: DoD, NASA, DOE, DOT, DHS, ED (contracts) Up to $150,000: NIH, NSF, and DHS Phase II SBIR (up to two years duration) $300,000: NIST, EPA $400,000: USDA, NOAA $500,000: NSF, ED (grants) $600,000: NASA $750,000: DoD,DOE, DOT, DHS, ED (contracts) $1 million: DHS, NIH
26 Phase I STTR Up to $100,000: NASA, NIH, DoD, DOE Up to $150,000: NSF Up to 12 months in duration Phase II STTR Does not include supplements or matching funding programs $500,000: NSF $600,000: NASA $750,000: DoD, NIH, DOE Up to two years duration
27 Several agencies have mechanisms for gap or follow-on funding to continue development of technologies that may need to go through a regulatory approvals process or to meet additional developmental requirements for successful commercialization Often these require the small business to provide matching funds from a third party
28 Innovation through Partnerships SBIR Industry Resources Invested University Small Business Investors Valley of Death Foundations Discovery Development Commercialization Level of Development
29 Direct contact with agency officials concerning a particular topic may be limited to a specified time period DoD Monitor questions posted on SBIR/STTR Interactive Topic Information System ( ED (contracts) Homeland Security Direct contact with agency officials may be prohibited NOAA
30 There is no single deadline for submitting SBIR or STTR applications Some agencies have multiple deadlines per year Some agencies have one deadline per year Deadlines vary as to the date and time
31 May be required to use agency website for submission DoD (DoD Submission Site) NSF (Fastlane) May be required to use Grants.gov EPA, NIST and NOAA require hard copies of proposals to be mailed in
32 Can contact other agencies throughout the solicitation period Helps with SBIR/STTR strategy: Identify the agency s needs that are being addressed by the topic Assess appropriateness of your idea for a particular topic Determine how much competition or target number of awards Identify other potential opportunities
33 Contacting program officials: Look through solicitation or guidelines first. Be prepared: have elevator speech or white paper that briefly describes your technology or idea Have a prioritized list of questions. Spend about minutes on the phone: many others are also contacting them. Send an if you can with your summary and schedule a time to talk.
34 Many agencies use administrative review to screen proposals May reject proposals without further review if they fail to adhere to proposal preparation guidelines or other screening criteria Page limitations Font sizes Specified elements (in order) Technical merit Responsiveness Need Intellectual merit and broader impact
35 Internal (agency officials, scientists, engineers) NASA DoD NIST DOT Get to know the agency before submitting: contact program manager/topic author (when permitted) and find out as much as possible about the topic
36 External (Peer) USDA (4-6 ad hoc reviewers) NIH (academia/industry) NSF (academic/industry) Phase I and Phase II have both technical and commercial reviewers DOE (three independent external reviewers) ED
37 Both Homeland Security may include internal and external reviewers as well as end-users EPA external peer review to assign ratings; internal relevancy review (only for proposals rated excellent and very good)
38 Can submit essentially duplicate proposals to different agencies (but not to different components within an agency) However, duplicate proposals will not be funded Can submit multiple proposals related to a platform technology, provided the projects are substantially different
39 SBIR/STTR research topic must have commercial potential Requires knowledge of market space as well as state-of-the-art of technology Goal should be a product or service, not more research or publications Impacts can be financial as well as scientific or educational Phase II applications require a detailed commercialization plan
40 SBIR/STTR funding is not meant to build your laboratory Assume you have or have access to equipment and facilities you need to complete the project Equipment requests may be capped by agencies SBIR/STTR funding is not intended to develop your career No special consideration or programs for new investigators Newcomers compete with well established and experienced companies
41 SBIR/STTR awards may be contracts Contracts mean milestones and deliverables SBIR/STTR awards come with more stringent reporting requirements Accounting system approval may be required Expect audits in Phase II Companies may be penalized for receiving too many SBIR or STTR awards
42 Scientific merit is critical for success Must address agency/organizational needs or program priorities Selection is a highly competitive process Proposal development and writing process are similar All types of proposals can be viewed as marketing documents
43 Grants and Contracts Grants: investigator-initiated (many topic areas) Contracts: specific topics Omnibus solicitation and special program announcements/requests for applications Multiple deadlines throughout the year April 5, August 5, and December 5 for non-aids related topics May 1, September 1, and January 1 for AIDS related topics Contracts deadline will be announced External review (new review criteria implemented) New page limits and other changes in proposal structure in place for 2010 submissions FY 2009 funding: $600 Million (SBIR); $72 Million (STTR) Flexible agency (can exceed statutory guidelines for funding limits and time frames) Has STTR program Has FastTrack Program Other assistance (Niche assessment, Competing continuation Phase II, CAP ) Electronic submission: register on Grants.gov and era Commons Web site:

56 Most agencies have moved to an electronic submission process for SBIR/STTR applications Process requires several time-consuming registration steps
57 1. Obtain a DUNS number: available free by calling Dun & Bradstreet at Register in the Central Contractor Registry (CCR) Need a DUNS number Need a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) Need statistical information about your company Need electronic funds transfer information Assign an ebusiness Point of Contact (EPOC) Must renew/validate your registration once a year National
58 Yes! You need to have formed a legal entity and set up a bank account Your company does not need to have significant operations until an award is made But, remember that reviewers will be evaluating your facilities and resources for performing and SBIR or STTR project
59 4. Register on Grants.gov View tutorial to preview steps: Make sure you have an Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR) registered in Grants.gov There are several screens to go through when registering your AOR be sure to complete the process Your AOR must be authorized to submit grants by your E-Business Point of Contact
60 Servers get busy near deadlines: submit early if possible Be prepared for hiccups Be sure you have registered where directed by the agency Prepare your proposal as a single document using word processing software, then break into appropriate PDF documents as directed by the solicitation instructions If applicable, download application instructions and application package early and save to your hard drive
61 (Official Government portal) (SBIR Gateway) (SBIR Alert) (System Award management site) (Grants.gov site)
62 Can provide financial rewards for the researcher. Can strengthen researcher s lab program and reputation. Can attracts innovative employees. Can support university research program. Can strengthens industry relations. Company can fund research, therefore the need to rely on getting grants is less. Can strength local technology community. Can obtain recognition -US Patent, Copyright Can fulfill university tech-transfer charter
63 Determination of Business Name & then register the name with your Secretary of State for the State in which your business is located or the State you want to incorporating in (Delaware is an example).
64 Sole Proprietorship, Partnership general and limited, C-Corp, S-Corp, Limited Liability Company Should consider: Formation requirements Ease of formation Period of existence Liability Taxes Dissolution State require annual payment for corporations. If a corporation -must have an agent in the State therefore must have an agent in Delaware if located in California.
65 Generally VCs will not invest in LLC limit on number of investors. LLCs are easy but do have their problems. Most closely held companies do not pay taxes. There are accounting costs. Do not want to commingle funds pierce the corporate veil. Open a business bank account needed for CCR registration
66 The SBIR programs requires registrations and they all take time to get. Plan to start early. If a corporation need EIN number. DUNS numbers are Free for Government Grants. CCR register for grants and contracts. If you are going to apply to NSF register with FastLane. The PI must also be registered at FastLane.
67 If you have at least one employee, you are required to address the issue of employer insurance. Unemployment insurance Worker s compensation insurance Independent Contractors Must follow IRS rules Should have employment contractor s agreements Who owns the IP? (see example) Should be assigned to small business.
68 1. Lack of technical detail in the work plan 2. Do not adhere to proposal guidelines 3. Perceived lack of innovation 4. Too ambitious 5. Lack of knowledge of prior work or state-ofthe-art 6. Lack of credibility 7. Poorly written 8. Missed deadline 9. Not responsive to topic 10. Inadequate Phase II or Phase III potential
69 SBIR Solicitation read it! Competition? Yes you do have it and you should tell them in the proposal about your competition Current research prove you are leading-edge Understand your customer Federal agency End user/purchaser
70 Related to not doing your homework Know whether solicitation is released or prereleased : may not be able to contact directly Have defined objectives for communication Get feedback on your idea ( responsiveness, innovation) Familiarize the agency with your company (build credibility) Have questions answered or clarifications made (strategic, not those that are obvious in the solicitation) Communication prior to solicitation release provides more time to build credibility Network at conferences, industry days or by direct contact An opportunity to submit ideas and topics to agency
71 Lack of commercial potential can doom your proposal in Phase I You need to have a plan for commercialization beforeyou start your Phase I application You need to demonstrate pull for your technology You need to demonstrate you understand the market space and have realistic expectations for sales and growth You need to know how your technology fits into a larger system You will need resources beyond SBIR to finance commercialization
72 No business expertise in the company or no scientific collaborators to round out the team No letters from collaborators or consultants Facilities are inadequate While the researchers appear to have good engineering experience for tackling the design challenges presented by this project, a major weakness of the proposal is that the company lacks expertise in manufacturing, sales, and marketing
73 Have someone proofread your proposal before you submit Do you know what counts towards the page limits, and do you know what the page limits are? Did you address all the items specified in the solicitation? Did you submit on time?
74 Once you identify long-term market opportunities or technological challenges for your industry Ask the question: Can SBIR or STTR provide early stage R&D funding? 3 to 5 years from product launch High level of innovation (Potential for failure) In-house capabilities Build relations with university researchers, Potential customers, Federal Labs, Tier One DOD Suppliers
75 You vastly increase your odds by establishing customer relationships Who are the customers? Federal agencies Have mission to accomplish Have SBIR funds End users/purchasers
76 Know your agency: EPA White paper announced building green builds in a priority. It is one topic only DOE has a priority renewable energy. They have 100s of topics In a NCET 2 webinar 50% of the winners of DOE SBIR s have a relationship with a DOE lab DoD and DHS like companies that know their business NSF uses university researchers as reviewers Valuable insights
77 Programs are constantly changing NCET2 is a way to stay updated: NIST new TT program will give your company an SBIR if take their patents out of the lab. They had spend years developing the technology. Looking for a commercialization partner. NIH s new SHIFT program for postdoc shifting from academia to business.
78 Be cautious not to excess page / worked limit. Must have key words. If responding to particular topic list in in the summary. ( Example this proposal is responding to ----.) Use Header with the topic and company name make it easy for the PD to get your proposal reviewer by the right people. NSF must address intellectual merit and broader impact. Recommend using these terms. NIH TIP be specific not broad
79 Must respond to a specific solicitation and research topic to apply for SBIR or STTR funding Can find topics by searching: Solicitations posted on individual agency websites SBIR.gov SBIR Gateway

81 A quality proposal has three generic components each targeted towards addressing one of the following questions: What is the significance of the problem? What problem are you going to solve (or what are you going to produce) and what difference will your efforts make? How you are going to go about resolving the issue identified in component 1? What are your specific technical objectives and what are their roles in proving of feasibility? What are the details the work plan for accomplishing the objectives? Why you are the right firm to perform the work? What evidence can you provide to establish your firm s credibility, including your awareness of the state-of-art, your firm s previous experience in the conduct of related R&D, and the qualifications of key personnel, of consultants, and of your facilities.
82 Abstract or Summary Specific aims Background and significance (or identification of problem or opportunity) Work plan Related Work Related research or research and development Commercialization strategy Key personnel Company and facilities Subcontracts and/or consultants Prior, current, or pending awards Cost proposal Literature cited Tip-NIH significantly revised its application guidelines this year and now has a Research Strategy section
83 Use formatting to indicate key sections of the proposal and label them with the same language used in the solicitation If a section does not apply to your proposal write not applicable under that heading Be clear and concise Double check spelling and grammar Avoid jargon Spell out acronyms on first usage
84 Follow solicitation instructions carefully Know what is allowable and unallowable Be specific Do not round numbers Get quotes or other documentation for equipment, etc. Generally speaking, grant applications are not treated like a bidding process
85 Proposed budgets should: Cover 100% of the project-related expenses Enable you to recover some of your indirect costs Do not exceed funding limits: budget requests that exceed the ceiling specified in the solicitation may cause the proposal to be rejected without review
86 Types of costs: Direct: Costs directly related to performing the project (would you still have them if you didn t do the work?) Labor Materials Consultants Indirect: Costs associated with ongoing operations Calculated using a logical and consistent method May be capped at a certain rate May be negotiated by federal agency for each organization
87 Direct Labor Rates should be fair and reasonable Can calculate hourly rate by dividing annual salary by 2080 (40 hrs per week x 52 weeks per year) Fringe benefits can be a direct cost included with direct labor, or can be an indirect cost
88 Other direct costs Consumables Equipment* Travel* Publication costs* Machining/Prototyping Keep documentation for auditing purposes get written bids/quotes if possible *What s allowed varies by agency: know their rules!
89 Indirect costs Covers costs of operations not related to a specific project General lab supplies Fringe (employee benefits) Overhead (infrastructure) General and administrative (G&A; management and administration) Indirect cost rates vary from organization to organization Agency rules vary
90 There are two keys to preparing a good budget: be realistic, and follow the instructions. As a general policy, cost-sharing is not required. Most agencies provide budget sheets as part of their SBIR solicitations. Tip 7% FEE (PROFIT) allowed Use it.
91 Equipment over $5,000 is owned by US Government TIP-recommend lease or lease to own. PI must be 51% time budget accordingly. If the Panel has problem with the budget it can be fitted later by agreeing to change it. Tip do what they want.
92 Tip no commercialization expenses allowed. Tip no patenting cost allowed. Budget is for research only. Tip maximum consultancy fee is $600 per day must be in writing. Tip -Need budget justification. Sub awards must have their own budget and budget justification. NSF may need Postbox mentoring plan.
93 Careful balance between providing enough, but not too much, detail Tie budget requests back to experimental design, specific aims or impact: Purchase of enzymes and reagents is requested for PCR testing of Principal investigator will be responsible for Request funds for travel to awardees conference if submitting to NSF (you are required to go)
94 NSF: No publication costs or travel allowed (except for SBIR awardees conference). Tip-50% or below F&A (overhead) for NSF is approved. Don t request equipment unless you want NSF to own it. Pay attention to maximum daily consulting fee. See sample budget and justification at: d_justification.pdf
95 NIH: Tip-NIH wants you to request a reasonable budget and a reasonable timeframe, but pay attention to whether you are submitting under the Omnibus solicitation or a specific RFP or PA: RFPs and PA sometimes have specified funding ceilings Tip-NIH will accept a 40% indirect cost rate without negotiation on Phase I and Phase II proposals (but rates are subject to audit at any time: propose only what you can support)
96 USDA: Equipment purchases are limited to 10% of Phase I budget request Agency may negotiate fee requests (i.e., you may get less than 7%) If you don t have a negotiated G&A rate, can put in a reasonable dollar amount, but will have to provide an indirect cost rate proposal if selected for funding
97 A proposal is a written document. Accordingly, all the considerations which go into writing any persuasive piece apply to proposal writing. You must consider what your audience wants to hear, how they like to hear it, and what criteria they use in evaluating what they hear. The proposal usually requires professional hours to complete. Tip Agencies give you the criteria and who will evaluate the proposal. NSF important to have a PhD and university partner. DOD tier one DOD contractor as partner, DOE DOE lab as partner. Know who is going to review your proposal.
98 Applicants are expected to know the STATE OF THE ART in the field. Consider that the reviewers are volunteers who are generally academics with expertise in the field of study, therefore YOU MUST HAVE knowledge of current literature and related prior successful proposals, TIP You should reference 25 to 70 references in the proposal.
99 Checklist is available at Phase I Proposal Check List Start Early Tip-It is recommended to submit your proposal 1-2 days prior to the deadline date. Tip -Review the Frequently Asked Questions Review Program Specifications ( ) Tip Call Program Manager before preparing the proposal. Run your idea through him first.
100 Poorly written and presented. Principal Investigator lacks necessary technical expertise. Insufficient technical information. Cannot be completed in six months. Inadequate bibliographical information.
101 Lacks letters from consultants / Letters of Support. Research already done by others. Too vague and unfocused. Failure to indicate where project would go in Phase II. Poor commercialization potential. Doubtful economic prospects. Inadequate detail in experimental plan
102 Phase I reports may be carefully read by technical reviewers: be sure you prove feasibility Phase I reports may or may not be read by commercialization plan reviewers: be sure to goals and outcomes of the project are clear in the commercialization plan However, assume all reviewers will read, understand and critique the Phase I technical report
103 If you have not yet proven feasibility, ask for a no-cost extension to complete the work that does prove it Use figures, tables, and formatting to highlight Phase I accomplishments: help sell Phase II Follow the agency s instructions
